decision to build on his traditional medical education by exploring a variety of other
complementary and alternative approaches to healing. He subsequently received
training in a variety of disciplines and approaches related to health and healing
including: nutritional medicine, mind-body medicine, the Human Givens Approach
(a leading bio-psycho-social model of psychotherapy) and Acceptance & Commitment

mindfulness strategies together with commitment and behaviour change strategies to
increase psychological flexibility - the ability to take effective action with awareness,
openness, and focus.)
